In Theaters Today: Me and Orson Welles

Image
Kelly Reilly 's latest film, Me and Orson Welles opens in [limited release] U.S theaters today ( November 25th )! She co-stars High School Musical 's Zac Efron and Claire Danes in this film. Go see it! Synopsis Based in real theatrical history, " Me and Orson Welles " is a romantic coming-of-age story about a teenage actor who lucks into a role in Julius Caesar as it's being re-imagined by a brilliant, impetuous young director named Orson Welles at his newly-founded Mercury Theater in NYC, 1937. The rollercoaster week leading up to opening night has the charismatic-but-sometimes-cruel Welles (impressive newcomer Christian McKay) staking his career on this risky production while Richard (Zac Efron) mixes with everyone from starlets to stagehands in behind-the-scenes adventures bound to change him.
